Objectives
This master’s in applied mathematics provides training in effective analysis and algebra. It forms preparation for careers in engineering or research in the following areas: optimisation, symbolic-numerical calculation, curves and surfaces for CAD, mathematical methods for automation, shape optimisation and modelling of problems relating to electromagnetism. The simultaneously symbolic and numerical approach to problems addressed, as well as certain themes such as the optimisation of shapes, makes this Master’s an original training programme in France. This two-year training programme meets a request from high-tech industry and research laboratories for specialists able to developing and implementing advanced mathematical methods to serve other scientific disciplines. It relies on the multidisciplinary laboratory XLIM of CNRS. Regular involvement of speakers from industry and major research organisations ensures that the training adequately meets the expectations of the professional world.
Skills
- mastery of mathematical foundations in aplied analysis, optimisation in the braod sense and symbolic-numerical analysis;
- familiarisation with industrial issues through a variety of industrial mini-conferences.
At the end of the course, each student has a descriptive appendix entitled “Supplement to Degree” which provides a precise description of the university curriculum followed and the skills acquired during the period of study as well as a fair evaluation of progress made and skills acquired.
Number of ECTS credits: 120
Registration fee
Approximately 480 euros (including social security).
